I can certainly help you - I have been doing this for many years, and have excellent references.


I charge ?30/hour if you are local, but the first 20 minutes are free in order for you to decide if I know what I am talking about - and can also help you to understand (so that you will not need me the next time!).


If you prefer, call me on 07973 269654 to discuss (for example, if you need to get files from a PC or another Mac onto your new machine)


Regards

Francis

I would personally question an engineer whom advises other forumites that it's OK to use illegal file sharing sites on a computer that is just as vulnerable to attack as a PC.

Hackers, Virus, Trojans, malware, keyloggers etc play a numbers game. Window users make up the vast majority of computer users, and so are the main focus for attack.

Two answers to 'safe'.

1) If you have an Apple computer, it cannot be damaged by downloading a rogue file. Windows is much more vulnerable.

2) There is a very remote possibility that if you did this a lot, you might receive a warning from your Internet Service Provider.


Note: many ISPs block the main Pirate Bay site (but there are ways around this).


Hope this helps.

      Is Johnson toast?

      On a slight tangent, I watched a few mins of Question Time lat night.  I was surprised when the 'libertarian' journo, who champions free speech etc, criticised the report for not focusing on the necessity for a lockdown, which in her view was unnecessary and did untold harm to our economy and sectors of the population.  It wasn't that she had these views (as a few prominent but deluded people do), but that a sizeable number of the audience agreed with her. The report found that social distancing should have been brought in weeks earlier, and if this had been done then the lockdown would not have been so severe, and even unnecessary. However as we got the point when the NHS would have collapsed without significant action I expect the vast majority of us understood the necessity. Oh and she doesn't believe in net zero either.

      He's not on Pellatt Road now. I live nearby and it's been shut for several years.
